in some places in florida, the ballots were 12 pages long. another big factor was the decision by some states to cut back the number of early voting days. some state legislatures rammed through voter id laws requiring people to show photo ids, fill out affidavits and other forms. plenty of people had no trouble and there's no indication that any of this tilted the outcome of the election. there's little doubt it's messy, unwieldy different in every state. >> how do you fix this? >> it would be difficult to fix it by having one system. the states have primary authority for conducting elections and some of that pass that authority down to the counties and give them leeway in implementation. and it would be extremely challenging because each state has its own traditions, its own culture. >> there is no one big fix to any of this. after the 2000 florida recount, the federal governmental located some money to try and improve things and created an agency called the election assistance commission. the problem with that body is that it doesn't work v

is that florida again? it didn't matter in the final outcome, but here was florida a dozen years after the infamous butterfly ballot once again too close to call, once again long lines. even the president during his victory speech through a little zinger. >> i want to thank every american who participated in this election. whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time -- by the way, we have to fix that -- >> reporter: in miami-dade county, the state's largest, people were still voting as he took the stage. some precincts didn't wrap up until 1:30 in the morning, six and a half hours after the polls closed. >> it's not that there were any problems or glitches, which is the word that's commonly used. it is not about that. it's about the volume of paper that we're processing. >> reporter: that is true. statewide there weren't any major technical hiccups. the biggest problem was the ballot, the longest in state history. >> it was a combination of a lot of things. and overly lo
